Jalsa Tandoori Restaurant & Takeaway in Conwy

We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the very reasonable prices. It's a bring your own bottle restaurant which means you get to have exactly what you want to drink and they do not charge corkage. The restaurant is only small and booking is essential - third time lucky for us - but worth the wait! So nice to see bhindi bhaji on the menu and beautifully cooked too.

What can I say.....fabulous! We have needed a decent Indian restaurant in Conwy for a very long time and at last it's here. Jalsa...thoroughly recommended 😃

Had a delicious meal last night at Jalsa Tandoori and had to do a review as the staff were great and the prices so reasonable! The place is small but cosy, a louder party in made it bit noisy as seating is quite close but at least atmosphere was good and everyone having a good time. Staff were so nice and food was prompt and absolutely lovely. We had the chicken momo and Kashmiri chaat to start and were so impressed by the flavours - the mutton for mains was also so soft. We went for medium heat dishes and thought they were warm but not very spicy (always better than too spicy!) and it is BYOB so the bill at the end was very reasonable! All in all a win and would definitely recommend a meal here!

This is an unlicensed Indian restaurant and takeaway with space for around 22 covers. Tasty food served speedily during a busy half term Sunday evening. Excellent value for money, generous portions and good service from friendly staff. Our evening was slightly spoilt by a lot of noise from a couple of large groups of diners who had no awareness of their impact on others but fully appreciate this is not something the hosts can control. As it's quite a compact space it's not possible to seat couples in a quieter corner where they can hear each other!

Lovely food Really delicious. Lovely attentive service ought to have been a 5*plus. The issue we had was a lady at the next bit one table vaping throughout the meal and the people next to us drinking from a coke and bottle water bottle throughout the meal. It’s a lovely place. The food is amazing and the service is lovely. But I think they need to set rules In place. If you’re out for dinner and people are drinking out of plastic bottles it’s not great. And it’s not ok to turns blind eye to people openly vaping.

We booked this place last minute whilst staying nearby and what a lovely meal it was. The food was amazing, we particularly enjoyed the lamb Dansak and chicken balti. The portion sizes were great and good value and we even took a bit home with us for a late night nibble! Thank you Jalsa for a lovely meal.

Best curry house around, friendly staff and lovely food, would highly recommend but make sure you book Always busy especially at weekends

The best Indian restaurant in North Wales. Consistently good. Friends travel from Flintshire to eat here each week. The staff are friendly and helpful, particularly Mo. Highly recommend the sharing starter (£7.50 and unbeatable quality) and the chicken Jalsa House Special (very savoury, medium heat and finished with olive oil). 10/10. Update 16/10/24 - attend regularly. Still extremely good value and unbeatable food. I'm convinced it's the best Indian in North Wales.

Rudest server i’ve ever encountered, ruined my whole night. Just like the servers attitude, the food was so bad. The paneer was swimming in oil and was also a radioactive red colour. The rotis ? came uncooked had to ask them to cook it more. The servers attitude could be justified as a bad day but it wasn’t because i did see him smile and greet other tables. They arrived after us, ordered after us, had a collectively bigger order and got their food way before us. We also reached at 7.50 pm for 8 pm reservation and the same server gave us shade about that too. Did not think this borderline racism I faced in the UK would be from a person of the same race as me. If you’re wondering yes the other tables were al of the same race and not the same as me :) The bill arrived before we were finished eating too. Do better Jalsa restaurant, this behaviour is definitely not okay and to the server who wears glasses hope you heal from whatever you’re going through and stop projecting on people who don’t deserve it :)

Wonderful staff and superb food. Will definitely visit again

I was in Conwy for one night and initially thought I’d try Spice Safari, who then had to turn me away as they were full. It turned out to be a real stroke of good fortune as the food here at the Jalsa Tandoori was excellent. The Jalsa Balti Massala and sag aloo were exquisite and the service very friendly. I lucked out and I’d go back without a doubt.

Food absolutely fantastic, staff are very friendly and helpful. Well worth trying.

Fabulous food ,very large portions. Very polite service and very helpful with the menu choices No alcohol only soft drinks

We chose not to eat here as it has a hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 from Conwy council health and safety. Touch text to see

Superb. Thank goodness we booked a table, we wrongly presumed a Sunday evening in Coney would be quiet! Only one table left ma’am! Staff are very polite and friendly 4 of us orders poppadums and pickles to start followed by 4 mains, 2 rice and 3 vegetable dishes. As you can take your own alcohol in with No Corkage our bill came to a very reasonable £72. We left a decent tip and came away astounded at the difference in price from our home town a few hours away. Thank you Jalsa - we will be back next year !

We recently stopped by Jalsa on our vacation in Llandando. The restaurant is located in picturesque town of Conwy next to a beautiful castle. We ordered a Mixed Grill, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Balti, Keema Naan and plain rice. The curry's were OK not spicy and a bit on the bland side. The grill was again OK not outstanding, with only the single piece of boneless chicken tasting great. The boiled rice was not fresh and clearly microwaved. However, the star of the show was the Keema Naan. Service was excellent and fast, alas, the food did not match up to the service or the location.

they have a 6pm and 8pm sitting every night, no point walking in after 8, but food is very good

We have been coming here for years and we cannot fault it. The staff and service are fantastic, it's friendly, clean and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious, never had a bad meal yet....it's simply the best in the region by miles. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely local restaurant. Always a pleasure to visit. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Food is excellent and great value for money.

Best Indian food in the area. Lovely atmosphere and service. You can bring your own alcohol (no corkage charge). Price are great value. Cannot highly recommend this restaurant enough.

Delicious South Asian food at great prices. Bring your own alcohol but they will supply glasses and a bottle opener if required. Bit sad that in Wales, I've generally gotten more lamb at better prices in South Asian restaurants than Welsh or British ones!

The food was pipping hot not greasy at all and as described. The korma (my partner had) was the best I’ve ever tasted. My Chicken Tikka Shashlik was so tasty as well. Kitchen is open from the bar so fresh food can be seen cooked which is a plus. Definitely will be back here when we return in the future.

Came to Conwy for the weekend with my wife and son, decided to have a takeaway on our first night to make things easy. Saw this place as the #2 rated restaurant on trip advisor for the area. I don't know what other people have been eating here, but what we had was abysmal. The house special curry tasted like it came out of a tin, was very very greasy, and had multiple clumps of what I assume was undissolved stock cubes in it. The chicken was dry and tasteless, and the naan bread was hard and had no flavour. My wife's biryani was bland, the veg was undercooked, and the cheese naan didn't have any cheese in it. Truly dreadful. One of the worst curries I've had in a really long time. Very disappointing start to our weekend away.

Great food, excellent service. Very reasonable prices. We shared chicken tandoori and the house special, a mix of lamb, chicken and prawns in a spicy sauce with pilau rice. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and tasty food worth the try if you are visiting conwy best to ring in and book in advance

Great curry with byob for drinks. Very popular so best book early. UPDATE: Revisited and appears as the food quality has gone down hill substantially.

Loved the food and service here. Bring your own alcohol if you please. A little loud, but excellent place.

Excellent food, good service and very reasonable prices. Quality meat and very tasty curry dishes, probably the best Indian food available in the county of Conwy ~ a must try is the Seekh Kabab😋, also highly recommend the garlic chilli chicken, balti, jalfrezi, jalsa house special and the special rice all excellent dishes 👌

Lovely little restaurant, great customer service, clean and good decor.. Great food

We are diehard curry lovers and this place was absolutely sensational. We had onion bhaji, lamb madras and the spicy dish (can't remember the name, something surprise) and garlic naan bread. Everything was 110%!! And byo wine is an absolute bonus! If we weren't visiting from Australia we would be VERY regular here! Well done to the team here, made a special celebration even better!!

First visit to Jalsa, very impressed, food was excellent, staff very friendly and efficient. We will definitely return when next in Conwy.

We go to the restaurant when ever we can , food is always excellent, the staff are friendly and attentive to all your needs, We have been to many restaurants in the area and jalsa is by far the best and great value, thanks to all the staff Dave and Andy

Always great food and service, and as BYOB makes it a really cost effective night out for such great food. Highly recommend but must book!!

Small and friendly restaurant. Wise to book in advance. Food was really good. Bring your own wine/beer. Recommend the fish specials.

Lovely food at very reasonable prices, nice staff as well

Beautiful chicken tikka Balti on my first visit...will definitely go again 👍🏻

Great Food and service. 5 adults and 2 children . Atmosphere was good. Added bonus BYO. Have a Family holiday in Conwy every year and this Restaurant is our must go too everytime.

Great food here. One of the very best in the area.

After looking forward to trying their food having been told how good it is I was so disappointed. The korma curry I ordered was so bland with no taste at all. So disappointed 😞

First time here since lockdown . Wow forgot how good it is, fantastic food, great service, super prices. Will be back.

Have eaten curries across the UK and beyond. Visited this restaurant on 2 previous occasions having read reviews but was unable to get a table because they were full. Now I know why. Went last night having booked a few weeks ago in preparedness for our trip to Llandudno. By far the best in the area and frankly one of the best curries I've had. Book in advance ,take your own booze and enjoy. Food fantastic great atmosphere and friendly and attentive staff. We will return.

We cannot comment on food. Turned up at 5.45 as says opens at 5. Sadly, they only offer 2 sittings, 6 & and 8pm, so we couldn't offer us anything. Sadly. It's byo and food hygiene rating is only 3, no idea why obviously

Very very good, staying in Conwy for the night and love a good curry, Jalsa didnt disappoint. Make sure you book. Must say that when you find a Indian restaurant that you like everything you is judged by that. I would consider moving homes to be near this one. Food very good, attentive service and fair pricing. Will 100% be back. You can being your own alcohol, they dont serve alcoholic drinks, soft and water only. There is a Coop around the corner so drop in there first. We had meat based dishes, no oil residue floating on the top, very flavoursome. Portion are great, far too much for us to eat so did the usual "can we take this home" - we have. Keema nan to die for. Enjoy..

Really tasty curry, we love to visit a curry house wherever we go and this one did not disappoint. Great quality chicken dishes, well spiced sauces and a great peshwari naan too! If this was near where we lived, we’d be in all of the time but thanks for a great meal!

Superb in every way, food and service exceptional,so highly recommended and love every visit, all our family and friends we take here all love it too! Tried so many dishes and not one I would not eat and enjoy again and again!

Food here is great. I would definitely come again.

Delicious takeaway, highly recommend if you’re in Conwy! Staff were lovely, service was quick and food was really good!

Brilliant food, staff were pleasant and attentive. All at a very reasonable price. A true gem

Attentive staff Lovely food Highly recommend

First time visit, had to book earlier than planned as was fully booked. After visiting we can understand why, food & service were great. BYOB was not a problem for them, can’t wait to return.

Had a takeaway and it was brilliant, I had the gohst pata and the mutton melted in my mouth, my husband had the conwy tawa cocktail, both amazing, the mutton was so good my husband wished he’d had the same, definitely worth a visit.

Great place. Need to book though.

Had a take away, korma, Tikka and usual bits, have to say I was gutted with the food, all the reviews are 4 and 5, the chicken was so overcooked even in the sauce it was dry nd tasteless…. I really hope this is a one off as it was highly recommended to me, that said, for a Saturday night there was only 4 people in restaurant

Excellent food, great value, friendly staff

Only a small restaurant, but a good service. The BYOB means you have to be a bit prepared, but the staff are happy to open bottles for you and there are soft drinks available to buy on the menu. There is a good selection of typical dishes on the menu, and our party of seven tried a lot of them. Everyone came away with very satisfied stomachs. Doggy bags no problem either. Very good.

Parking is scarce but there are plenty of choices on the menu, I have done a collection and had to wait 45 mins as they are busy but friendly lads. Good experience and good taste 👍🙏

Great food and reasonably priced. We’re a party of 7 and all ordered something different. Everyone in our group enjoyed the food. Will certainly be back.

Excellent food as always. Make sure you book if you're eating in.

A local favourite of mine . Reasonably priced and food is of excellent quality along with the service .

Mouth watering dishes, really enjoyed. I drove nearly 30 mins to the nearest halal restaurant and it was worth it.

Superb lamb curry and excellent tandoori roti.A breath of fresh air in a sea of average curries/takeaways.Excellent and friendly service

Here on a long weekend away and I must say I am totally blown away with the exceptional quality of food and service tonight. We are from the Midlands and here totally blows away it .Such a gem in every sense.

Had a great curry here, thoroughly enjoyed it. Chicken jalsa house special

Great food and attentive service. We like how you can take your own drinks. We have booked again for a few weeks time. Only downside wish the place was a bit bigger as the tables for 2 are close together.

Enjoyed a lovely meal ,very tasty!

Popped in with no booking. Recommend you book if you wish to visit. But luckily when we popped in there was a table available. Food was amazing and so tasty. And the service was fast and efficient.

This place had such welcoming staff there. Anyone who is thinking of having a nice family meal together for any occasion would definitely recommend

Excellent food and fast service. Not many covers so essential to book. Note that they are not licensed so bring your own alcohol.

We have discovered a gem here and been 3 times since our first visit to Conwy in February this year. Twice we have travelled by bus from Llandudno, we like it that much. We will be back staying in Conwy in June and of course we will book again. You need to book early as tables are always full. We are creatures of habit and always have more or less the same dishes. Popadoms and an excellent pickle tray followed by Chicken tikka starters that come out sizzling and then hot and tasty lamb Madras. Always plan to try a different curry as everything that comes out of the kitchen looks amazing. We like the relaxed feel of this small Restaurant and staff are always super efficient and nice. The takeaway side is always busy a sign of how great this Restaurant is. Thanks for another great evening at the Jalsa.

Fantastic meal good quality authentic food would definitely go there again. Price of food very reasonable. Also its a take your own alcohol😊

Called in and was lucky enough to get a table booked, gets busy and a really nice atmosphere. Staff are great, food is so so tasty....we ordered far too much...! Portions are very generous.. if you are in Conwy be sure to pop in, you will be glad you did..

Small takeaway with a few tables. Best Indian food for miles.

Loved the food every time I've ordered takeaway from here.

Superb restaurant. Welcoming, excellent service, open plan kitchen and such good food. Didn’t expect to find such a gem in Conwy (we’re city folk with lots of restaurants to choose from).

Distinctly average curry - it wasn’t fantastic but it wasn’t awful either - just middle of the road. I had a chicken tikka jalfrezi and my wife had a lamb tikka rogan Josh - first of all you do get a lot of meat which is refreshing. This is the first thing that most restaurants will reduce to keep costs down and maximise profits. My wife’s lamb tikka wasn’t lamb - it was mutton as it was tough and not tender as you’d expect lamb to be. Both dishes lacked in flavour and seasoning. I’ve had much better takeaway curries and was expecting good things based on all the reviews. Pretty sure I won’t be returning.

This tiny restaurant is welcoming and smells delicious as you go in. We had a starter and main with poppadoms and sauces. The food was really good, the staff smiley and friendly and the prices very reasonable. BYOB is a bonus. In all the only small comment I can make is that the naan and chappatis were not as soft and fluffy as I would have liked. Definitely would recommend..

Loved our second visit to the relaxing Jalsa in beautiful Conwy. We had visited during our stay in Conwy in February but this time we travelled via bus from Llandudno which was straightforward and went to plan. We couldn’t bring ourselves to try the Indian Restaurants in Llandudno and risk disappointment. Standards were as high as on our first visit and we really like this intimate small Restaurant, staff are really friendly and service is attentive, food served hot and so delicious with good portions. The decor is nice, toilet clean and on the same level as the Restaurant so another plus, highly recommended. We booked the 6pm sitting the other alternative is 8pm. All the tables were full and from our table I could see part of the busy kitchen as we sat there last time. They are also a busy takeaway but this doesn’t impact on the Restaurant. Bring your own drinks - they have no license but do have soft drinks.Plenty of ice available and glasses for your drinks. Like the hot wipes they bring out at the end of your meal and chocolates. We are already booked at the Jalsa for our trip in May to Llandudno and yes booking early is key here. Thank you for another lovely experience, I think we might be hooked 😃

Great food great service best Indian restaurant and takeout in the area. Tonight’s visit 6 of us ordered starters and mains what can I say we have dined in many Indian restaurants all over the country and some of them in main Indian areas and the jasala rates in the top 5, the dishes never disappoint always delicious, if you want to eat in I recommend you book, if you dine in or takeaway you will not be disappointed, I cannot recommend Jalsa enough

We have always enjoyed our meals from Jalsa but sadly our last two takeout meals have been disappointing. We had poppadoms & chutney which were fine. The starters of Onion Bhajis & Prawn Puri were very nice & tasty however our main meal of Butter Chicken was very disappointing- tasteless & bland & our Peshwari nan bread was soggy & unappetising. Sadly this was the 2nd time this has been the case so we will have to look for another Indian takeaway in the hope that their food will be a better experience.

We had included Dinner for 4 nights in our hotel during our stay in Conwy but not on the Friday night. We love a good curry so I tried to book a couple of weeks before we came and was surprised how booked up this...

Another Tuesday night in Jalsa and once again we had a great night! The food is excellent, lovely friendly service, and very reasonable prices. Take your own alcohol and have a brilliant night out!

We both love Indian food but we took a couple who both said they didn’t. They had had a bad experience years ago. We talked them into coming with us to Jalsa on Conwy and after talking to the very helpful waiter we started with...

Jalsa Conway you won't be disappointed Food was excellent I he'd lamb chops lovely tender We will be returning soon

Always a joy to come here....tastes food and great service.

We love Jalsa, we always have a great experience, whether it be a take away or eating at the restaurant. We have been again tonight with friends and another great evening. Food, service very good. As you are aware you take your own Wine, Beer...

What's not to like? Excellent food every single time we visit!

First visit, will definitely be going back

Love it. Brilliant food and service. Highly recommended. Take your own drinks.

Great value, wonderful service and great food

Love this restaurant, look forward to going there , every visit to north Wales is a visit to Jalsa.

All 6 of us loved the food, 1 of our party had food intolerances and the staff couldn't have been more helpful, highly recommend. I would say booking is required and please be aware that they have no licence so bring your own alcohol.

Had some tandoori & Oriental chicken, with aubergine and rice veggies. No alcohol licence but you can bring your own booze. Free parking in the street, close to the castle. Food was tasty and good service only a few table, lots of takeaway.

Visited here twice now and it’s been consistently good. Would very highly recommend . This place is obviously excellent as booking a table is always difficult to do

Tasty food, lovely service, definitely the best Indian cuisine that we have eaten for a very long time! Will definitely eat here again 😊

Great little curry house. Restaurant looks amazing inside and staff were both friendly and attentive. Food was amazing, the onion bhajis were crispy and tasted amazing, the lamb pathia I had was one of the best I've ever tasted. Overall great experience and we'll be...

As always amazing food, highly recommend!

Top quality - our regular Friday night takeaway.

Sorry but had an awful experience here. I was really looking forward to dinner at jalsa and as it was rated as a top local restaurant I had high expectations. Unfortunately it was the worst Indian I'd had. Not only was the service very slow...

After reading all the positive reviews I was really hopeful for a nice meal. Well it didn't take long for that hope to fade. It took over an hour after arriving for the starters to come, the resturant only has 5 tables, i assume they...
